BROOOO I FORGOT WHISTLER HAD CANCER IN THE FIRST BLADE MOVIE.

We appreciate easy angst in this household.

Blade who smelled the cancer on Deadpool as soon as he was near and it broke his heart as he remembered his mentor. Then when he reluctantly enjoyed the idiots company and even more so when he saved them from the void.

He asked Logan about it one day. Logan too knew the smell and he to was worried.

One day Logan and Blade were hanging out in Wade's apartment while he was out collecting money for a job he and Logan finished. Althea just casually asked when the cancerous tumor would be back.

Blade and Logan looked at one another with wide eyes. "You know about the cancer?" Logan asked tentatively.

"Of course I do one of the first things he told me when I met him. He had super cancer and now he couldn't die."

Logan looked positively startled. Blade spoke up next. "What does the cancer have to do with him not dying?"

"Oh he's dying he's constantly dying. It's just he's constantly regenerating cancer. Pretty sure it's because of you actually Logan or at least this world's Logan."

Logan looked at Blade with big eyes and Blade was even more curious now. Blade likes Althea she reminded him of Whistler in her own ways.

"What do you mean It's because of me?" Logan asked sounding as if he dreaded the answer.

"Off shoot of Weapon X got him if I remember right he said they used your DNA." Al said flippantly.

Logan felt his heart drop and a growl threatened to escape his throat and Blade held back a hiss.

"How did the offshoot get him?" Blade asked. Al sounded somber then as she answered. "The cancer. He was dying he was desperate and they convinced him they would save his life and cure it make him a hero."

Logan couldn't stop the growl then and Blade bared his own fangs with a hiss of displeasure.

I still find it so cute that in the original Blade 2 script, Scud only did all that shit because he was jealous of Blade paying more attention to Whistler than him

"OK, Vampire Anatomy 101, crosses and holy water don't do dick so forget what you've seen in the movies. You use a wooden stake, silver or sunlight to kill them. You know how to use one of these?"

*hands her a gun*

"No, but I'll damn sure learn quick. "

"Safety's off, round's already chambered. Silver hollow-point bullets filled with garlic. You aim for the head or the heart. Anything else, its your ass."

Happy 25th Anniversary to Blade

Me and @airlocksandaviaries watched Blade yesterday and all I have 2 say is that this man Does Not get enough love or attention.

So in the interim of me finding intelligent things to say about how well crafted the movie was, I bring u… some headcanons for mister Eric “Blade” Brooks:

His favorite food is mackerel over rice with green beans

He strikes me as the kind of man who would enjoy the experience of chewing on jerky

Blade likes jazz and can tell you the difference between its subgenres. Will he ever give you the opportunity for it to come up? Probably not

This man has 100% practiced his dramatic timing. He thinks it’s fun and he’s ecstatic every time he nails it. It’s VERY important to him, actually.

He prefers not to be called Eric. It’s something he keeps for himself, one last piece of that life he never got to have. It’s a gift from his mother; that’s how he chooses to remember her. You don’t get it if you haven’t earned it, and most people just /haven’t/.

Whistler took him to train under several master hunters— it was the best way to bring him into their world and use him with maximum efficiency. One of the regimens entailed resisting torture tactics. Whistler was there with him, narrating the lesson: “Can’t help the pain, ‘cause if ya bleed ya hurt. But the suffering? You gotta master that. Vampires get even a whiff and its chum in the water, you’ll get eaten alive. Don’t let a fuckin’ suckhead see you suffer.” He’s internalized that message, and you can see it when he laughs in the face of Frost and his clique.

Speaking of Blade and how he bears up under pain: The man is capital R Repressed. If he feels an emotion his instinct is to Channel it into something else. That’s how he was raised— and it’s part of the struggle he has with himself. Suppressing the bloodlust relied upon building the willpower within himself to resist a starvation of his nature. Anger becomes precision, sadness becomes anger, doubt becomes calculation. It’s all about discipline for him. He treats his hunger and his doubts as one and the same.

His blade is based on a jian/chinese longsword, and it was given to him as a gift. Like a rite of initiation.

I think that deep down when Karen offered him the serum to suppress his vampirism and live as human that he was scared, that there wouldn’t be an identity for him in being human, living outside of this war he’s fighting. He didn’t like what he was, but for him it’s all he has. He didn’t feel like he knew how to be human, so he didn’t try.

Kris Kristofferson, musician and actor, passed today at the age of 88.

When Sinead O'Connor spoke out against sexual abuse in the Catholic Church and ripped up a picture of the Pope on TV, she was vilified and hated. In this video, she was set to perform at a Bob Dylan tribute in a stadium full of hateful jeers.

Kris Kristofferson stood up for her, showed her love and support and recognized her strength.

We lost a good man today. Rest in peace, Kris.

[historia-vitae-magistras]

Do the baby rats ever return to the bilges? And by that do they spend much time with the old man? Are they free to drop in and make themselves at home?

I think it varies between them and over time.

Alfred drops in a lot. God knows there's hardly a spot in the world he hasn't made himself known but I still couldn't quite believe how many statues and memorials. The eagle squadron, the Eisenhower statue, the Reagan statue, the 9/11 memorial garden. Mark Twain, James McNeil Whistler, Harry Selfridge, FDR, Abraham Lincoln. Like goddamn I'm not sure why I was surprised but whoo. So many statues of Yanks paid for by the British.

Anyway: In the 19th century he'd actually spent time in England indulging his need for the latest technology and satiating whatever advances François or Gilbert wouldn't keep him abreast of. Nowadays, especially since the age of flight, he travels a lot and has no shame in rolling up, insulting the food but savoring the whiskey, crashing wherever he likes and drunkenly asking his father's advice. He's very free in how much space he takes up and how much time he feels entitled too. If he's jet lagged he'll just conk out on the old man's spare room and complain it smells like sheep but very much appreciate a night's sleep in a place he once called home.

Matt... He should be very comfortable in that space but he's a dipshit so imposing feels illegal. He kind of knows he can but he's also not willing to test his luck the vast majority of the time. If he's invited he'll show up on time, clean up after himself and promptly leave without causing a fuss. At least the cat's happy he's back to visit lmao. He got permission to pay for a wee fountain in the green park memorial. There was a gate we bought when Victoria locked it and we were still first dominion (Australia was still in the process of confederating.) But yeah he's welcome? Arthur doesn't mind him around if he's not underfoot. But it really was kind of a sign Jan had no idea what Matt's life was like anymore when he asked him to go stay at his dad's in the aftermath of their break up.

Jack lmao he's shameless when he wants some of the old man's attention. I don't think it's all the time, but there are a lot of links there. I swear to God I met so many Australians in England. I tumbled out of a test pit off a corner off a Hadrian's wall fortlet and there were like 6 Australians in every pub in fricken Yorkshire. He will just kind of show up with a very casual but somehow kind of prickly invitation to go to a cultural event of his artists or bands in England and the old fart isn't objecting. It took Arthur a minute to figure out that "Accadacca" meant they were going to go see AC/DC but he wasn't mad about it! Two manic fucks can have a lot of fun. They party quite hard sometimes. Jack was also very responsible for the old man's cooking improving by a metric and imperial fuck tonne. The espresso machine under the cabinet is his baby.

Zee I think is the easiest. She's as independent as Jack but that not quite dead idea that daughters are kind of allowed to be more in and out of the house makes it slightly easier for them. She rolls up and flops on the sofa demanding to be fed and watered. A full fifth of the NZ population lives overseas with Australia and the UK topping the list and if there's things she can't really do in New Zealand or she just doesn't want to live alone she'll just hop over. I feel like she goes in cycles of how independent and revolutionary she's feeling and will just kind of make herself at home if she wants another degree or something similar. She spent time in London without the old man too especially during the peak punk years and they ran into each other at a sex pistols concert. She had a full set of tattoos, an undercut and half a blunt in her system, Arthur had green hair and absolutely ripped on god knows what. She's never seen him so panicked. They stumbled home together having a hoot and throwing beer bottles at cops. Grade a hooligans, those two.

[inariedwards]

This is a selection of selfportraits from a series I made in 2011-2016. They're made with colour pencils on paper. In them I placed myself into various existing paintings and artworks. The series progresses from a fully finished drawing to the least finished drawing. The title of each work in the series is a female name (in lower case) and a body part. The body part in the title is always obscured in the image or not in the frame at all. Out of the fifteen portaits five are full body format, five are half figure and five are shoulders and up. Several of the works have very Mormon themes, and those are the ones I wanted to lift up here.

You can see the whole series on https://inariporkka.tumblr.com/portraits at the bottom of the page. That might not work on Tumblr app, might need to look at it on a browser.

agnes (arms)

The name comes from the Latin term Agnus Dei, the Lamb of God. The painting inspiration is Zurbaran, specifically his Agnus Dei and his Saint Francis. The arms of the figure are obscured by the lamb she carries. It is ambiguous whether she is sacrificing the lamb or rescuing it. There is a possible indication of female priestesshood going on here. The background is a reference to an abstract artist whose name escapes me. I can't remember what I was going for there with the chalk on blackboard look - unfinished plans, maybe?

josephine (knees)

The name comes from Joseph Smith of course, and the main reference painting is of course that famous one of the First Vision. The other reference is this Renaissance trend of making religious paintings and inserting the donor of the painting into the scene. Like there are paintings of like Bible scenes like the crucifixion or Mary holding Baby Jesus and then some Renaissance guy in there too with them. So I put myself into the First Vision, like  a donor. The figure is reading while kneeling behind a little... prayer box thingy that was in the original painting too, with the knees obscured. The idea there is that by reading other people's accounts of their experiences (such as Joseph Smith's First Vision) is like being there.

maria (shoulder)

The name is obviously a reference to Virgin Mary and the painting reference is to like early Renaissance/late Middle Ages iconography. Shoulders are hidden from view on one side by the veil and on the other by the baby leaning on the shoulder.

anna (loins)

I must admit I can't remember what the name is in reference to. But the painting is Whistler's Mother. I've drawn myself in place of the old lady in the original, my late dog is on the floor, and on the wall is my temple sealing diploma. On the left there is a white cloth - a curtain or the veil? The vibe is temple-y: either waiting to pass through the veil or having done it.

eva (nose)

The name refers to Eve. The nudity and the lush jungle all around (borrowed from Rousseau) suggest it's pre-Fall. Nose is hidden from view by the flower she sniffs. Since Mormons have a pretty different view of Eve compared to other Christians, it's kind of focused on just who she was, rather than eating of the fruit or any of those central story beats.

sara (neck)

The name refers to Sarah, the wife of Abraham. This is the most unfinished drawing in the series. To me it's about exaltation (hence the crown) and not being reasy for it yet. This one is also the first one in the entire series, so it follows the system the least - for example it's not as such a remix of a particular painting, just inspired by Botticelli in general, like the hair, really.
